Posibotive

Inspiration

HackHarrasment #BeKind

A bot like this could notice someone having signs of negative thoughts and feelings very easily, and give them a little pick me up to put a little smile on their face.

What it does

Looks out for any negative messages being sent in your team Slack channel, and if it detects any, it replied back with a posibotive message.

How I built it

It was super easy, I was working on a machine vision project to help blind people walk with a mobile app most of the time but it was a failure, maybe I'll try that again soon after doing more research. But for now, I just used API.AI and Slack bot configuration to whip this together.

Challenges I ran into

How can I get the bot into the public channel and not private DM because nobody will be confessing their thoughts to a bot.... unless... ;)

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Built this in 10 minutes.

What I learned

How to use API.AI to built a conversational AI chat bot and integrate it with Slack!
